Hezekiah was the 13th king over the kingdom of Judah. He was a king who trusted and obeyed God.

|
|
* In contrast to his father Ahaz who had been an evil king, King Hezekiah instituted godly reforms by removing idol worship from Judah.
|
||
|
|
* When Hezekiah earnestly prayed, God healed him of a serious disease and allowed him to live 15 more years.

|
* As a sign to Hezekiah that this would happen, God caused the sun to move backwards on a sundial.
